Warning: This quiz will make you hungry. You're about to have countless dishes, candies and drinks passed in front of your eyes, and it will be up to you which dishes you send back to the chef, and which ones you keep on your table. If you're picky, you might end up feeling more grossed out than anything, as many of these foods are pretty wild. But if you're the type of person that will eat just about anything, this quiz will end up making you very hungry indeed.
Some of us start off our lives being picky children, never wanting to eat our vegetables or try new things. Many of us grow out of these tendencies as we grow into adulthood, gradually becoming more and more adventurous and trying all sorts of new food. But some of us stay this way for our entire lives, never wanting to try anything too crazy. Some say they're missing out, but in reality they're just eating what tastes good to them, and you can't blame them for that. What are you like? Are you picky? Adventurous? Or are you somewhere in between? The only way to find out is to take the quiz!
